The Use of Artillery.

Sterling Price. the rebel general is reported to
have said during the war that he had put few
cannon in his command, and that he used these
rather to encourage his men than kill the
enemy. And probably this is the chief use of
artillery in war. The big booming stimulates
the soldiers and creates a panic among the I'M
cpned troops, but cannon does comparative
ly little execution. Veteran soldiers pay but little
atten ton to solid shots and Shells and less
to grape and canister than to rhe whistling bull
let's from the rifles. 1t is the 'sping" of the ri
fie bullet that makes a man shake like Hoosier
with the ague Cannon good for quelling
riots and for feeling an enemy, but when it

AS to the cost of natural gas to consumers it
appears best by comparison with coal. The
following is good illustration: The Maumee
rolling mill, of Toledo, has an output of fifty
tons of iron per day. It's bill for coal was 5000
per day. The wages of men to handle the
coal, to cart away cinders, the expense of re-
plenishing CRATE bars and fire brick would
make the actual cost of fuel account with coal
So. % per ton of iron produced. The cost to
them of natural gas is $l.90 per ton. The diff
ference in these two accounts shows a profit
of $16750 per day, or over fifty thousand per
year, being 10 per cent on the capital of the
rolling mill company 1t may be mentioned
by the way, that the gas is furnished to man
ufacturirg establishments, not by the 1000
feet, but at so much for the gross product or
output of the factory.

HIGH license exists in Iowa in spite of the
prohibitory liquor law. In Keokuk there
fifty saloons in which whisky beer wine and
other prohibited liquors are openly sold. The
keepers pay into the city treasury license
fee of $500 each, making an annual revenue OF
800 OO0 which is expended the streets and
public grounds. Although such a license fee
could not be legally collected the saloon keepers
of Keokuk cheerfully pay It in return for pro-
and the citizens generally. What commentary
is this upon prohibitory legislation when a large
and intelligent community silently and con-
temptuouslv repudate it'll While prohibition is
treated as dead letter. high license takes its
proper place, without legal sanction, simply be-
cause il is in harmony with public sentiment

at the right time-Philadelphia Record.

THE value of gas fuel is not merely in
its cheapness compared with coal, but in
the reduction Of other expenses. A manufact-
urer who has investigated the subject says ''its
use strikes from the payroll of every factory
long list of heavy expenses, from the horses
carting the coal, teamsters, laborers, fremen,
down to the man who wheels out the ashes
and cinders. 1t does away with monthly ex-
pense bills of CRATE bars and fire brick. and
when used in furnaces for reducing metals,
sends out product much increased in value
in the markets" This is the fuel Indianapolis
wants.

TOLEDO is little further along toward get
ting natural gas than we are. Two companies
have been organized there, and have leased
land, dug wells, and are laying pipes in the
city and country to their source of supply
One of the companies has the backing of the
Standard Oil Company. It has from fifteen
to twenty wells finished, and expects to have
gas in the city by the LIST of June, piping it
about forty miles. The other company has
several productive wells already bored and
others in progress, is laying pipes at rapid
rate, and expects to have gas in the city by
the middle of June. The two companies are
running race to see which shall get into the
city first. The Toledo Commercial says:
mo schedule of prices has been arranged.
but to manufacturers they can guarantee that
the price of natural gas will not be over rs
per cent. of that of coal. The saving in labor
in the handling of coal and cleaning out
furnaces will probably bring this down to at
least go per cent, and may be much lower, as
compared with coal. This, be it understood
is the maximum limit of the prices that will
be charged and they may be much lower,
according to circumstances"

THE Rev J. D. Fulton Is it will be re-
membered. the Baptist minister of Brooklyn
who lately resigned his charge to engage in a
crusade against the Roman Catholic Church
He opened out in Philadelphia on Monday
with an address in which he declares that
''there is greater traitor on earth than
Gladstone" Continuing his TRADE he said:
Gladstone has allowed prisoners to remain in
prison, where they are rotting. He has
placed Ritualists and Romanists in the En-
glish universities. The trouble is that in Ire
land their home rule is spelled Rome rule.
To-day there are people starving all over Ire
land because they cannot get their rents.
Behind Gladstone is the Pope. Parnell and
his people could not get their dinner were it
not for the money sent from America" If
Mr.. Fulton thinks he is aiding his own cause
or injuring any reputation than his own by
such utterances as these, then Mr.. Fulton's
opinion differs materially from that held by
the majority of those who may have the mis-
fortune to listen to him. 1t is not necessary
that he be suppressed by his brethren, he will
do this for himself effectually.

If large land owners in and near the city
put prohibitory prices on their property and
thus drive away prospective manufacturers,
they should rank as public enemies. If the
city is to get any great or lasting benefit from
the present "boom," it must be in the
acquisition Of new manufactures. These will
not come unless they are invited and offered
inducements. Reasonably cheap land is one
inducement, and unless it can be had the
factories will go elsewhere Real estate
owners should not make the foolish and fatal
mistake of killing the goose that lays the
golden egg
